Management is hard. It takes time, thoughtfulness, and most of all, consistency. Your team is watching and noticing how your actions reflect your words. And they’re noticing what you do and don’t do. 

Have you ever been asked to describe your team’s culture either when interviewing candidates or creating job postings? Words like “responsive, solution-focused, great people” might feel good to say but they are open to many interpretations, and potential misinterpretations.

Although most of us have been working remotely in some capacity for several years now, it’s easy to forget to be intentional about creating a strong culture in this remote environment.
